                <description><![CDATA[The 1040 metres high Bokor Mountain was once a playground of the rich and famous during the early 1900’s. However, it is now a hauntingly derelict ghost town. There is so much to see on this former French hill station, such as an old abandoned Catholic church, a derelict French colonial style hotel and casino, a holiday villa, a royal residence and a Buddhist monastery that is built on the verge of the mountain. Also wild elephants and other jungle animals are occasionally seen if you’re lucky.<br><br>The view over the Cambodian and Vietnamese coast and islands from the top (1081 metres above sea level) is spectacular. At certain times of the year the mountain gets enveloped by a quick moving thick fog which makes for one of the most eerie yet beautiful sights I’ve ever experienced. It is also possible to stay at a National Park guesthouse on Bokor.<br><br>Hire a taxi to take you to the summit; the journey should take around two hours and costs about $20. I would advise against riding a motorbike there unless you are an experienced rider on a dirt bike. I have heard of many near death experiences of foreigners trying to do the journey themselves.]]></description>
